Vishwajeet Mishra Petitioner
… …
Versus
The State of Jharkhand Opposite Party
…. …
CORAM: HON’BLE MR. JUSTICE RAJESH SHANKAR
For the Petitioner : Ms. Neeharika Mazumdar, Advocate
For the State : Mr. Pankaj Kumar Mishra, A.P.P.
Order No. 03 Dated: 31.07.2024
The petitioner apprehending his arrest for the offences
punishable under Sections 414/34 of the Indian Penal Code and
Section 4/21 of the Mines and Minerals (Development & Regulation)
Act, 1957, has prayed for grant of anticipatory bail.
2. Learned counsel for the petitioner submits that the
petitioner has been falsely implicated in the present case and has
not committed any offence as alleged in the F.I.R. The petitioner
who resides in Lucknow (Uttar Pradesh), is the registered owner of
truck bearing registration no. UP-30AT-7479. There is alleged
recovery of 5.5. ton raw coal from the said truck without valid
documents. In fact, the petitioner had given the said truck on lease
for an amount of Rs.40,000/- per month to one Karanveer Singh. If
at all the alleged occurrence has taken place, said Karanveer Singh
can be said to be responsible for the same. The petitioner has no
criminal antecedent as has been stated in paragraph-15 of the
present anticipatory bail application. He also undertakes to co-
operate in the ongoing investigation. Hence, he may be given the
privilege of anticipatory bail.
3.
Learned A.P.P. opposes the petitioner’s prayer for
anticipatory bail.
4. Having heard learned counsel for the parties and
1
considering the materials available on record, I am inclined to
enlarge the petitioner on anticipatory bail.
5. Accordingly, the petitioner, above named, in the event of
his arrest or surrender before the court below within three weeks
from today, shall be released on bail on furnishing bail bond of
Rs.20,000/- (Rupees Twenty Thousand) with two sureties of the like
amount each to the satisfaction of learned Judicial Magistrate-1st
Class, Dhanbad in connection with Dhansar P.S. Case No. 252 of
2023, subject to the conditions as laid down under Section 438(2)
